We´ve put together a playlist with 20 tracks picked from our releases in 2011. Feel free to share the playlist and / or any of the tracks! Click the track in the player to access more information about the release / artist.
Yes, we do love vinyl. In a perfect world every release on CCAP would be on vinyl. In reality most of the releases these days are digital. But, luckily we are working with a few artists that share our love of vinyl. The sound, the touch, the format, the smell, the feeling of putting that pick up down on a fresh new single, or a well used old album. There is something about vinyl that you just cant find on a digital file, a cd or a cassette tape.
Anyway, head on over to Kjetil Brandsdal / Drid Machine´s website to check out some of the lovely covers he´s made for CCAP and our artists recently. Johnny Hancocks, Kitchen Orchestra, Sebastian Waldejer and Poor Edward have all had their covers designed and printed by Kjetil the past year. And there is more to come! These singles are printed on Arigato covers from Stumptown Printers in Portland, USA. Honorary mention also goes out to Thor Legvold at Sonovo who is doing most of the vinyl mastering for us. Great work!
The singles are available through these Bandcamp pages (all vinyl singles includes digital download):
And last but not least a double 180 gram vinyl album by Pete Johansen. This is not a Drid Machine design or Stumptown cover, but it is an amazing album
A few months ago Sebastian Waldjer released his brilliant new single «We Never Get Away Anymore». This week we stumbled upon a great new track by the US band Real Estate. These two tracks are amazingly similar. We doubt either of these artists have heard about each other before these tracks where released and that it is all a coincidence. It´s a small world after all? (™Disney) Whats your opinion?

A quick update on what is going on with CCAP these days.
This spring we are releasing new albums by Sebastian Waldejer (May), Helldorado (March) and Rub A Dubs (May/June) Sebastian is working in the studio right now to finish the recordings for his debut album. Helldorado have finished the recordings for their fourth release. The album is being mastered by Barry Diament. Rub A Dubs are also in the final stage of recording their new album.
Jackman have just releases a new movie, Jernanger, which have received great reviews and which contains some great music by Jackman himself. Jackman released a great EP followed by an equally great album on CCAP a couple of years back. Well worth checking out if your into surf/garagerock/gypsy/punk/funk/jazz (and who isnt?)
We are also applying for funding for a new POP08 project (named "POP09" obviously)
We are also in the process of restructuring the label. We are planning to add two sub-labels each with their own speciality and we are adding a couple of great managers to the label to work these sub labels. We will tell you more as soon as we have decided on all the details...
We are taking a well deserved (?) holiday, the office will be closed from 23. December - 28. December
For 2009 we´ve got a couple of very interesting projects lined up: New albums by HELLDORADO, RUB A DUBS and GEOFF BERNER as well as SEBASTIAN WALDEJER´s debut album. Great people, great music, what more can you ask for?!
